“THE FOUNDATION IS CHRIST”

1 Corinthians 3:11 “For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.”

The foundation of personal faith is settled and unchanging. Paul states plainly that no other foundation can be laid. The foundation is Christ.

This foundation is inseparably connected to the Word. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1). “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us… full of grace and truth” (John 1:14).

A precept is a divine injunction or authoritative rule of conduct. (Mounce, 2006) God has not only given a foundation, but also instruction for how life is to be built upon it. “For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven” (Psalm 119:89). Personal faith must be built on Christ, trusting in the written Word of God and His character within His Word.
